What you’re looking at
The camera looks down from O Precipício at Fajã da Ovelha, high on the cliffs, to the fishing and surf village of Paul do Mar squeezed between the cliffs and the sea. You can see the village, its harbour wall and the reef where Madeira's famous right-hand point breaks roll in.
Best time to check this camera
Surfers should check it in winter, when the big north-west swells wrap around the island and Paul do Mar comes alive. Everyone else can use it as a sunshine test: the west coast is often bright when Funchal is grey, and this frame tells you if it is worth the drive.
Is the west coast sunny, and is the Paul do Mar swell working?
- If the view is clear:
- Drive west for Paul do Mar, Jardim do Mar and a seafood lunch by the harbour.
- If it’s grey or rough:
- If even the west is grey, the whole island is under cloud; plan an indoor day.
